.SYNOPSIS...

A surface trough progressing across the southeastern states will
stall to the northwest of our area tonight and Tuesday.
Southwesterly winds will prevail across our local waters, with a
southerly evening wind surge bringing speeds up to Caution levels
tonight for the offshore waters. Daily rounds of showers and
thunderstorms over land areas will progress eastward across our
local waters each day this week, with another trough expected to
enter the southeastern states later this week that will also stall
to the northwest of our local waters. Prevailing winds will then
shift to southeasterly by Friday and Saturday as high pressure
builds off coastal New England in the wake of the stalled surface
trough.
